What differentiates Symantec Endpoint Security from other similar products?
Endpoint Protection scans computers for security threats. It is used to disable unauthorized programs, as well as to implement security policies that limit or allow network traffic. Attempts to identify and block malicious traffic on corporate networks or web browsers. Uses integrated information from users to identify malicious software.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
The Symantec platform is a proxy platform that protects all traditional and mobile storage terminals, provides device, application, and network-level protection, and uses artificial intelligence (AI) to prepare security decisions. Available on all major platforms, Microsoft, Linux / Unix, and Mac. And it works with everything. Best of all is that it can block USB devices automatically.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Management UI is outdated and Complexity. Deleting Finishing Points Completely is time consuming and difficult. The system should have better auto-correction capabilities, and if something goes wrong it should be restarted automatically. Firewall features can do just that and I've found it easier to disable and use Windows firewall instead.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
You can set a few different policies to suit your needs across the network. You can send remote scans to devices from the Internet without being on the device. Many angles are protected, from av to firewall, to IPS.
Pros

What differentiates Symantec Endpoint Security from other similar products?
First of all, from a system administrator and security personnel point of view, the operation is easy. Sometimes you have to release a UP, but typically you don't have to do anything particularly and update new patterns automatically. I also believe that in Mexico dependability is still strong, and I think it's excellent because it is also a firm that offers worldwide internet crime-related technologies such as Interpol. It became obvious right away what happened. I enjoy Symantec Endpoint Protection.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
It is not high and is easy to run to load the client PC for real-time scanning and routine scanning. It can be utilized without difficulties on the server and can be managed centrally. There is also a wealth of details on the support site. For the last point, I have been able to take security action (EPP). The EPP administration was feasible for central PC clients and servers. It is difficult to interpret a warning on or when malware is being detected with other antivirus software, but corporate editing makes it easy for consumers to grasp and also transfers the message to the admin in a simple, comprehensible method.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Technical solutions are not a very quick answer such as answering user side queries, it takes time. Especially when you exchange it over email. Because working like upgrading to the new version is a specific task, we often make queries. I do not normally do anything in particular, but I would like you to respond quickly.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Stable and user-friendly. It is extremely basic to comprehend and easy to operate the administration screen. Restore procedures are also given on the internet in the case of false positives and assistance is straightforward to grasp. It's always moving without being too heavy. Update the pattern file, search for time and search in real-time. The email that utilizes the corporation, such as the identity replacement site (phishing) was also validated by the email address that commonly attacks the email. They are essentially careful, they do not wish, but to respond to an emergency, antivirus software must be able to watch them.
